Jdh

[Tully]

What was he up to at the end of the game, can he no handle a bit stick,maybe if he showed as much passion during the game he wouldn't get stick

[WestStandWillie]

Be happy to see him punted on a free transfer.

[Wheat Hound]

Was the most animated I've seen him on the pitch. Bland player devoid of guile or creativity.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Missed the end of the game, what happened?

[Coco Bryce]

Nowhere near good enough for Hibs.

[Unseen work]

I think he’s a good player and does his role very well, the issue is he has nothing in front of him to create.

[LunasBoots]

The issue is we have too many average similar players playing similar styles/roles in midfield

[JohnM1875]

I don't even think he's bad at what he does. I just find what he does bland and unnecessary most of the time.

[Brightside]

Does his job well and did that again today.

[B.H.F.C]

Does his job well and did that again today.

What job did he do today?

[Sir David Gray]

Missed the end of the game, what happened?

Altercation with a few fans at the end.

[Coco Bryce]

Does his job well and did that again today.

What's his job?

[The Modfather]

Does his job well and did that again today.

What’s his job and is it the same job as Newell? Both much of a muchness IMO. Would play one or the other, not both together, and all things being well replace both.

[Heisenberg]

No surprise we are looking for an upgrade on him in the summer.

[Benny Brazil]

Missed the end of the game, what happened?

He was having a go at some fans and Hanlon had to drag him away

[greenlex]

He’s a good player. Quick of feet and thought and moves the ball well. He has no real quality around him and not enough in front of him. I don’t think Newels good enough and Henderson is too similar. It’s little wonder when all three are on the park we struggle. He’s worth keeping tho.

[Chorley Hibee]

Surely he just shrugged Hanlon off like everyone else seems to do?

[Ray Donovan]

I like Hanlon but did laugh at this 🤣

Apart from the goal sleeping

It’s little wonder when all three are on the park we struggle. He’s worth keeping tho.I was impressed by him at the beginning of the season..him and Magennis seemed to link up well.

He's regressed week on week tho since then..not that there is much movement or quality in front of him, even if he had the courage to play a forward pass more often than he does. Seems to just patrol 25 yards out from our goal facing Macey and play it around the full backs and centre halves. Repeat until losing ball.

I've still no real idea what our midfield is trying to achieve in games..they are just there..taking up space on the pitch...going thru the motions in a similar way to the week before. The only time that changed of late was when Lewis played in there.

He wasn’t alone to be fair.

We need another Magennis and players like JDH will thrive

:agree:

[penihibs]

What's his job?
Takes one touch and points to whoever he passes to what do next.
He's mince!!

[The Harp Awakes]

Totally agree. JDH is the least of our problems. He's purely a defensive midfielder who does his job very well. If we had decent attacking midfield options and forwards, he wouldn't be getting criticised.

I only caught the last 30 minutes of today's game and Jake was easily our best player.

[loanheadhibby]

Bottom 6 player with St Mirren.
Bottom 6 player with Hibs.

What is it he did well?

It was their central midfielder that had 4 hours to score today. Where was our defensive midfielder? Any of them?

Didn't see the goal, so can't comment. Only watched the last 30 minutes and he passed the ball well and linked play. He's done that effectively most of the season.

Not his fault we're dug**** offensively.

[Tully]

This is hibs problem we accept mediocrity and it breeds throughout the support

Our defensive midfielder isn’t partly responsible for the fact we’re dug***** defensively?

I know you said offensively, but what about the other way when we hardly have anything to do?

[J-C]

He was an average player for a poor St Mirren and he's an average player for a poor Hibs team, TBH I can't recall him at all in the St Mirren team, when he signed a pre contract I thought who?

[JohnM1875]

Different kind of players of course but I'd have Mallan over JDH every day of the week and I was a so harsh on Mallan.

I honestly don't get what JDH offers us.

[The Harp Awakes]

Dug**** defensively? Look at the stats. We don't concede many goals. The problem is we create and score **** all.

[Hiber-nation]

Gets praised when we're doing well and abuse when we're not yet he's basically not playing any different.

[loanheadhibby]

Does his job well and did that again today.

Are you for real, he contributes nothing every week.
No wonder we are in trouble if you think he's an asset.

[The Harp Awakes]

Different kind of players of course but I'd have Mallan over JDH every day of the week, and I was a so harsh on Mallan.

I honestly don't get what JDH offers us.

You're right, Mallan was a completely different player. An attacking midfielder who bizarrely quite often was played as a defensive midfielder.

JDH and Newell are very similar players. Entirely defensive midfielders, who don't create or score goals but are technically decent. Every team needs a player like that. The problem is we have 2 and limited attacking midfield options.

That's it for me. There's no way we need to be playing both JDH and Newell. Worked a few times early on in the season when Magennis was fit, but other that that it's been a shambles.

[DH1875]

Over rated dross. Been getting a free ride for months.

[JamesHFC]

Aside from his goals against Ross County, I think he put in a decent shift against Rangers at Hampden? We need better, he’s probably alright as a back up player. Not sure what kind of wage he’s taking up.

[greenlex]

I keep hearing this absolute pish all the time. Repeating it doesn’t mean it’s any more real.

Joe Newell isn’t a defensive midfielder, he’s got no clue how to tackle.

[JammyDoidger]

The whole team is full of average players..no point singling anyone out..there's not a player that started for us today other than Clarke that I'd fancy moving on to a higher level. Scary. Livi we're rotten today, but you just don't fancy us to score. For years we've been full of bog standard players, bailed out by a Griffiths, a Riordan, Fletcher, O'Connor and so on, now we don't have any of that. Ron Gordon better get it sorted in the summer, we are going down a right slippery slope here. I thought this feeling had vanished after we won the Scottish cup, but there's a right negativity in the air again. Grim times.

[Leith Green]

I keep hearing this absolute pish all the time. Repeating it doesn’t mean it’s any more real.

The problem is that we keep signing mediocrity and that is what we are left to watch week in and out. Our signings are mostly never good enough.

[andrew70]

Joe Newell isn’t a defensive midfielder, he’s got no clue how to tackle.

Runs about acting the hard man though. He’s a disgrace.

[DetroitHibs]

Started the season playing brilliantly and then got offered an extended deal on more money. Hasn't been seen since!

[Nicho87]

I could do his job on the pitch

[JimBHibees]

I could do his job on the pitch

Doubt you could

[Brightside]

Dug**** defensively? Look at the stats. We don't concede many goals. The problem is we create and score **** all.

Correct. We are bottom six due due to not scoring goals.

[Stonewall]

Exactly.

[givescotlandfreedom]

I don't disagree about some of his actions but he stopped Clarke and Melkersen from getting themselves into more trouble when Holt was being a bawbag.

[Libby Hibby]

JDH isn’t the problem, creating chances and scoring goals is our problem and has been pretty much all season.

[sunshinejim]

I'd take Sam Stanton back. Watched the full game last night Raith v Killie. He was excellent. Full of skill and constantly drove at the Killie defence, caused all sorts of problems for them and created lots of attacking opportunities. My motm.

[The Harp Awakes]

Correct. Sometimes the glaringly obvious passes many folk by.

[tamig]

Thought he had a pretty good game today.

There’s a reason Sam is playing at that level. He’s nowhere near good enough for us. I liked him in his time here but he should have been putting some hours in in the gym to add bulk. Could have been a very good player imo.

[LewysGot2]

Totally agree. JDH is the least of our problems. He's purely a defensive midfielder who does his job very well. If we had decent attacking midfield options and forwards, he wouldn't be getting criticised.

Over the 90 mins we endured, Henderson was the best player. Lewis had yet another decent outing, too.

[sunshinejim]

Did you watch the game last night or are you basing your opinion on when he was here years ago at Hibernian? Cause last night he was excellent against what is a good Killie team.

[Springbank]

He’s a good player. Quick of feet and thought and moves the ball well. He has no real quality around him and not enough in front of him. I don’t think Newels good enough and Henderson is too similar. It’s little wonder when all three are on the park we struggle. He’s worth keeping tho.

He's a bottom 6 midfielder who never ever breaks the opposition lines & makes us easy to defend against.

[1875Sean]

St mirren is his level, not good enough for us unless it a squad player

[Allant1981]

I could do his job on the pitch

What professional team dp you play for

[B.H.F.C]

Dug**** defensively? Look at the stats. We don't concede many goals. The problem is we create and score **** all.

We are dug***** defensively, for all the defending we actually need to do. We don’t have a great deal to actually defend because we set up so negatively. Including the goalie, it’s generally 8 defensive players. The other midfield can just wander through us though like yesterday.

Same when Halliday is striding around at Tynecastle. Or Lewis Ferguson up at Aberdeen. We have a midfield who offer nothing in any aspect of the game .

While I don’t particularly rate him, and he’s thoroughly unlikable. Halliday has 6 goals this season and we watched him take a game by the scruff of the neck in the derby. He would improve our midfield in place of any of Newell, JDH, Campbell or Henderson IMO. Which is telling and depressing in equal measure.

Good point Lewis Ferguson and Halliday are both awful players yet they mamage to play well against us

[Since90+2]

Ferguson is not awful.

Surely he just shrugged Hanlon off like everyone else seems to do?..:top marks:not worth:aok:

Can easily play it just now if we go 4-2-3-1. Henderson in front of them and Mueller and Jasper wide.

[1875Sean]

Both these awful players would walk straight into our lineup

[500miles]

Ferguson is not awful.

Neither is Halliday, just a tit.

[500miles]

JDH isn’t the problem, creating chances and scoring goals is our problem and has been pretty much all season.

I agree with your sentiment, and he's not just a huddle, but I don't think he gives us anything Newell doesn't, and Newell is much better at receiving the ball and making space for himself.

I think we were expecting more development from him going forward.

[bigwheel]

Ferguson is a quality player ..Halliday would be in and out of our line up - much as he is over the city

[Big90inOz]

JDH does my head in when he gets the ball centrally in a mile of space and immediately plays it back or wide when he could turn and advance through the middle. he does it game after game. If he isn't facing forward then he doesn't appear to be aware of what is going on around him. He can certainly play a good pass when he receives the ball facing the opposition but with his back to them its safety first. Our lack of forward presence from the midfield makes us easy to play against, JDH and Newall spend far to much time in our half

[I'm Spartacus]

Players having any negative communication with the fans need to ensure they are s**t hot.

He isn't s**t hot.

[hibee-boys]

I think he needs to invite his mates over more often, seemed more up for it that day!

[MWHIBBIES]

Nonsense. Abusing someone is wrong regardless of their ability. Good for him not taking it

[WeeRussell]

Right now I think they’d both easily be starting in our midfield, without any question.

[bigwheel]

He’d certainly get starts ..but Halliday is a bit hit and miss - can perform poorly too ..wouldn’t start every week imo

[WeeRussell]

This is hibs problem we accept mediocrity and it breeds throughout the support

😂 that’s possibly the best variation of this ridiculous line yet.

[WeeRussell]

I pretty much agree - and actually wouldn’t want someone of his standard starting at all for Hibs next season. I just think right now there isn’t anyone that would stop him getting in our team.

All hypothetical as Hunallday won’t ever be at Hibs 😀
